CBS Pulls '60 Minutes' Peter Attia Segment After Epstein Email Revelations

The network is weighing his contributor role after a DOJ document dump detailed extensive, crude correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein.

Overview

  • CBS removed an October Peter Attia interview with Norah O’Donnell from a '60 Minutes' rerun scheduled for Sunday, replacing it with another piece.
  • Justice Department files released last week reference Attia roughly 1,700 times and include mid‑2010s emails showing crude banter and friendly exchanges with Epstein.
  • Attia posted an apology on X saying he is ashamed of the emails, denies any criminal conduct, and says he never flew on Epstein’s plane or visited his island.
  • David’s Protein said Attia stepped down as chief science officer, and he has been removed from the company’s website.
  • CBS has not announced a decision on Attia’s status, with outlets reporting internal debate between Paramount leadership and CBS News chief Bari Weiss following his Jan. 27 contributor announcement.
